Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

What astonishes me here is that anyone is surprised by the terrible customer service being provided by Obamacare. The Democrats were putting our healthcare industry in the hands of the motor vehicle department, and we all know how well that operates!

The support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Four years ago, just before the 2020 election I wrote that Joe Biden's mental health was suspect. Only in this year has the propaganda mainstream media decided to recognize that basic fact.

 

Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Even today NASA and Congress refuse to recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

    They might suck at customer service and websites but they will be much better at dictating doctor patient interactions.

    Well, at least they have their priorities.

    Lets be fair, Obama was upfrount that the cost savings would largely be due to eliminating “unnecessary” services from folks where the results wouldn’t justify the costs. Most gov med programs like In Canada – or Oregon/Washington – do it by slowing down the paperwork so the mean time to get approval for treatment is past the mean survival time for the disease.

    > the cost savings would largely be due to eliminating “unnecessary” services from folks where the results wouldn’t justify the costs.

    Ah, you mean services like expensive operations, such as open heart surgury, or expensive treatments, such as many cancer treatments. Obama told Jane Sturm that perhaps her mother should just take some pain pills and wait for death. A bureaucratic healthcare plan.

    Obamacare: bureaucracy gives painkillers, huge cost savings, tyranny. Previous system: joy of life gets pacemaker and at least five additional years of joy, life, and freedom.

    Yeah Obama did a shoot out to a Senator or such retiring to focus on getting over cancer. Said Senator later pointed out that under Obama care his treatment was no longer covered and he’ld have to pay out of pocket.

    Guess the rule under Obama care is get rich or stay healthy, either way your on your own.
